A kind of method purifying terlipressin
Technical field
The present invention relates to the purification process of a kind of polypeptide drug terlipressin, be that one has long-acting blood vessel and adds
The purification process of pressure element analog.
Background technology
Terlipressin, illustrious name is: Terlipressin, and for a kind of ring type polypeptide, structural formula is as follows:
Chemical formula is as follows:
。
Terlipressin is the triglycine-lysine-pitressin of Prof. Du Yucang, is that the vasopressing of synthesis is similar to
Thing, it is a kind of pro-drug, and itself is inactive, and in vivo through aminopeptidase effect, 3 glycyl sloughing its N-terminal are residual
After base, slow " release " goes out activated lypressin, and therefore terlipressin is equivalent to one and can release with steady rate
Release the bunker of lypressin.The Main Function of terlipressin is to shrink visceral vessel smooth muscle, reduces internal organ blood
Flow (as reduced the blood flow in mesenterium, spleen, uterus etc.), thus reduce portal venous flow, reduce portal venous pressure, also can make simultaneously
It for the smooth muscle such as esophagus and uterus, is a kind of medicine safely and effectively treating Acute Venous varicose bleeding.
Chinese patent CN201110171151.X discloses the preparation method of a kind of terlipressin, concretely comprises the following steps: first
To terlipressin, thick peptide solution carries out reverse-phase chromatography gradient elution purifying, then uses anion exchange method by trifluoroacetate
Change into acetate.This method total recovery 43%, purity is 99.60 %, and can not efficiently separate terlipressin and impurity [β Asp8]-
Terlipressin.
In the building-up process of existing terlipressin, Asn hydrolysis can produce impurity [Asp8]-terlipressin, and
[Asp8]-terlipressin can be by forming intermediate state and then generation impurity [the β Asp of succinimide8]-terlipressin,
[βAsp8]-terlipressin is from the impurity that main peak is nearest, maximum in terlipressin known impurities, and its structure is as follows:
。
This impurity is one of maximum impurity of toxicity, and extremely unstable, and the existence of this impurity has a strong impact on Te Lijia
The content of pressure element and use safety.It is thus desirable to find effective method to remove it and reach gold standard rank
0.1 below %.The present inventor studies discovery, and the means of this impurity prior art are difficult to remove, though some methods can be removed
Part, but removal effect is undesirable, it is difficult to reach gold standard rank and easily cause the reduction of terlipressin yield own simultaneously.
To this end, how the present inventor's primary study removes the removal of impurity [β Asp8] terlipressin and the yield that do not affects terlipressin ask
Topic.
The present inventor uses existing purification process, purifies the terlipressin prepared by solid-phase synthesis, sends out
Existing impurity [β Asp8The content of]-terlipressin is all unable to reach pre-0.1 % that fixes one's aim.To this end, the present inventor is to special profit pressurization
The purification process of element is studied, thus has obtained technical scheme.
